I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

    Easier to get in Easier to get out Safer (was trained to do it) Why do you pull in forwards?

      Literally easier to pull straight in and stay centered between other vehicles. The literally easier to back out since there’s far more space available in the parking lot lane I’m backing out into.

      Never had an issue with this in my life. Never hit a car, never took forever to do it, never hit anyone, and cannot believe the mental gymnastics people do to convince themselves backing in is somehow better.

        In terms of geometry nah backing in is way simpler. Less turning involved I believe. Not a mathematician but Ive been professionally driving for 10 years
